-IVYS POV-
"Leave!?" I shouted, standing up on the bed- fully revealed, but I didn't care.
"Yes" Joker replied, quickly eyeing me up and down, then turning away to walk to his desk.
"We're leaving Gotham?" I asked, watching him walk across the room.
"No"
"Well then what-"
"We're just re-locating" he cut me off, pulling his chair out and sitting down.
I sighed deeply, then fell back down on the bed in a crossed legged position.
"So? Where to?"
"Well, I'm sure you know I own many places" I heard him mutter.
He pulled out a machine gun from a drawer underneath the desk, what made me gasp inaudibly.
I was used to it by now though.
"Yeah...so you own a house or something?" I said.
He chuckled slightly, then started loading the gun.
He seemed to be getting it ready.
"You could say that"
"Cut the crap alright? I just want to know what's happening and where we're going"
He stopped what he was doing and paused, his back still facing me.
He turned his head slightly then replied.
"Somewhere"
"Somewhere? Somewhere huh?" I scoffed, getting off the bed.
He returned back to what he was doing without another word.
I slipped on my bra and black skinny jeans, but couldn't find my t-shirt.
"Great" I mumbled, starting to look around.
"What?" Joker spoke, slamming a compartment back in the gun.
"Nothing" I snapped.
When I finally found it, I slipped it on quickly.
As I pulled the material down my body, I noticed the unfinished painted wall.
"There's no point now, right?" I sighed, collecting the paintbrushes and paint cans.
Joker turned in his chair then looked at the wall also.
"Probably not"
I rolled my eyes, then headed for the door with the items.
"Where are you going?" I heard him ask behind me. It sounded like he was standing up.
"Any where but here right now"
"Ivy, you can't" he said through gritted teeth, pulling me back by my arm.
"Yeah yeah, the police and shit" I hissed "I know"
"Don't just-"
"Get off me!" I yelled, yanking my arm back.
I exited the room, and he followed after me.
"Ivy!"
"What!?"
"Don't even think about leaving the house!"
"Whatever"
"Don't whatever me!"
Once I was at the bottom of the stairs, he was still following me.
I approached the front doors, and he called my name again then quickened his pace down the stairs.
I opened the doors and placed the painting equipment outside them, then shut the door again.
"What the hell are you doing!?"
I sighed and rolled my eyes.
"Tell Frost to throw away the paint and stuff, seen as though I can't, and you can't"
As I tried to push past him, he stopped me with his hand.
"I'm being serious Ivy..."
"I know you are" I spat "when are you not, right?"
I stepped aside, then headed for the basement door- intending to get a drink from the kitchen below.
"Don't walk away from me" he shouted, following me again.
I ignored him, then continued walking quickly.
"Why are you taking this out on me huh?" He questioned, making me come to a stop.
"I'm not" I said simply, my back to him.
"You're not? You could've fooled me, Honey"
"Honey? Really?" I winced my eyes as I turned to face him.
"Oh I'm sorry, my beloved, beautiful, perfect, totally rational princess" he mocked.
"Oh! You're saying I'm not rational!?"
"I never said that" he grinned smartly.
"You blew up a hospital for crying out loud!"
I turned then continued toward the basement door.
"Don't follow me" I spat.
"Aw why not?" I heard him chuckle condescendingly.
"Because I don't want you to!"
I flew the door open, then began walking down the stairs- funnily enough, he was still following me.
"Don't be mad, baby" he mocked again.
"Don't 'baby' me"
I got into the large kitchen, then opened the fridge and picked up a bottle of water.
"Look" I said "I'm just not thrilled about this whole thing, okay?"
He leaned against the marble island, and stayed silent. His silence irritated me- he knew what he was doing.
"Hm" he hummed in a condescending tone again.
"Hm? Hm? That's all?" I scoffed.
"Okay, I'll go write a written apology then shall I?"
"Just, shut up" I sighed, heading back for the stairs.
"Did you just tell me to shut up?"
"YES!"
"Don't anger me even more, Ivy" he warned.
"Oh and then what?" I quizzed sarcastically "are you gonna' shock me again? Lock me in a room or something?"
"Maybe" he growled, stepping toward me slowly "but remember, I can kill you if you're not careful"
I laughed at his words.
"Kill me?"
"Well look at my last toy as an example"
My laugher died down and turned into a disgusted expression.
He meant Harley, and he referred to her as a 'toy' and was subtly calling me one.
"Wow" I mumbled "and to think I would even consider having a baby with you- maybe Ingrid's death was a blessing"
I started climbing the stairs, but next thing I knew- I collided with the ground below.
-JOKERS POV-
"And to think I would even consider having a baby with you- maybe Ingrid's death was a blessing"
Those words hit me hard, but I knew she only said it because I provoked her.
I watched her make her way back up the stairs, but something inside me made me viscous.
I lunged and grabbed her arm, then yanked her back.
But I regretted it instantly.
She fell down the few steps she had climbed, then hit her head on the ground below.
"Ivy!" I yelled, running down to her.
I knelt down and shook her.
"Ivy!"
She wasn't unconscious, but she was totally out of it.
"Wha...wha happened"
I scooped her up then ran up the stairs, and exited the basement.
"You...you pushed me..." I heard her say wearily, her eyes half shut.
"No I didn't" I replied sternly, making my way back to the bedroom.
"You...pushed me....you fucker"
"What!?"
"You...asshole"
I gritted my teeth together, trying not to lash out again.
I entered the bedroom then placed her down on the bed.
"I didn't push you" I stated, placing a pillow under her head.
"My head hurts" she breathed out, ignoring what I had said.
"I know...let me go get some ice or something"
I stood up, then headed back for the kitchen.
As I passed the main doors, they suddenly flew open.
"BOSS!" Frost shouted, approaching me.
"What?" I hissed, recovering from the tiny heart attack.
"YOU'VE GOTTA GET OUT OF HERE NOW!"
"What? What are you talking abo-"
"THE POLICE, THEY'RE ON THEIR WAY HERE TO RAID THIS PLACE"
I growled loudly, then ran back up the stairs- Frost followed.
"CALL THE HELICOPTER IN" I commanded.
"Already done"
I turned to Frost before I entered the bedroom again.
"If it's a war they want...it's a war they'll get"
